I started by placing strips of pretty patterned papers on the white background. I adhered the matted photo in the center with foam squares to make it pop against the colorful papers. I then added white word thickers for the title along the left-hand side of the page.

I then got busy creating a little scene on the right-hand side of the page with paper strips cut out from the 6x6 pad, stickers, die cuts, cute puffy stickers, thickers, a wooden button and pretty fussy cut owls.

Hi!I hope you're enjoying your weekend!I'm popping in today with a layout that I made for Paper Issues' Scraplift Sunday. This week, we're lifting a gorgeous page by Becky Stidham. I played along and used Lovely Day by Dear Lizzy & American Crafts along with a photo of my oldest girl on the beach, inspired by one of the iSpyWithPI prompts.

I love the layers on Becky's page! I started by working on my layers and placed pieces of patterned paper in the center of the page. I then adhered the matted photo with foam squares to make it pop a bit more. I cut out a big banner in a 12x12 sheet and a little one in a 6x6 pad paper that I cut again in half. I placed them under the photo, along with the title, and finished my page by adding a few embellies: paper pieces, puffy and chipboard stickers and a doily.

Hello!Did you join the Scrap 'n Chat mini crop yesterday in the Paper Issues Facebook group? I played along with the Bossy Bitch challenge using the pretty Sweet Nothings line by Fancy Pants, a photo of my little one snapped during a walk on the beach and 8 items from the list: enamel dots, gold, journaling, a date stamp, a paper clip, tags, alpha stickers and washi.

I adhered the matted photo at the top, adorned it with a paper clip and a die cut for the title and added some embellies around the pic: a banner made with tags and puffy stickers, paper pieces from the ephemera pack, a round tag and puffy hearts.

The patterned papers are all so yummy that I had a difficult time picking one for the background! I finally went with the Artisan paper and its gray woodgrain. I then grabbed the pretty chipboard frames and placed them sideways on the page. I love the way they pop against the gray background!

I adhered the matted photo in the center of the page with foam squares, adorned it with a chipboard heart and then got busy embellishing. I fussy cut flowers from the Luscious paper and tucked them in two of the frames. The florals in this collection are just amazing!

I filled the frames with paper pieces from the ephemera pack: more flowers, hearts, an arrow, a bow and a cute butterfly. I then got the super pretty rubber charms out of their package and placed them on some of the frames, along with a tab sticker from the accessory stickers sheet. I used another rubber charm for the title. They add even more texture and dimension to my page.

I had so much fun with this page and it all came together really easily. I just wanted to use a little bit of everything from this gorgeous line on my layout! That's how awesome the Wild at Heart collection is!

I started by drawing a spiral on the background paper, pierced it following the pencil lines and then went along with a needle and white thread. It took me a little while but I like stitching on layouts: I find it relaxing!

I got busy drawing hearts in 6x6 papers, using the paper hearts from the Oh My Heart ephemera pack as a template. I cut them out and placed them on the stitched spiral, along with puffy stickers and chipboard pieces from the collection. I then adhered the matted photo in the center of the page with foam squares and adorned it with a cute bird sticker, pretty flowers and a banner for the title.

I used white cardstock for the basis and layered pieces of patterned papers on it. I stitched the borders of one of the papers with white thread. I then added hearts that I cut out from Love Always papers and folded gently for dimension. Finally, I sprinkled Love Always die cuts and Make A Wish sequins on the top of my card.

I made a cluster in the center of the page with the photo, patterned papers and some embellies: die cuts, a wooden button, a chipboard piece and a tag with journaling strips. I added the title under the pic and finished off my layout with fussy cut flowers at the top and at the bottom of the page.

You'll find the full details about this fun challenge and beautiful inspiration from the Design Team on the PI blog. And join us in the Paper Issues Facebook group to share your Pawsitively Pets projects!

Hi!I hope your week is off to a great start!It's Take 5 Tuesday on the Paper Issues blog today, with a brand new list of items to use on a project brought to you by Mary Ann Jenkins. For my layout, I did a bit of stitching and I used a paper clip, hearts, puffy dots, XOXO, arrows, the Golden Days collection by Fancy Pants and a pic of the girls and their dad snapped in Tarragona last year.

I stitched a frame on one half of a plain Golden Days paper and placed a strip of patterned paper on the other half. I adhered the matted photo in the center of the page with foam squares, adorned it with a pretty leaf paper clip, die cuts and a cork heart and added an acetate piece for the title underneath it.

To make the left side of the page more colorful, I added letters, hearts and arrows at the top and at the bottom of the stitched frame as well as paper pieces and a cork sticker around the pic. I lined up golden arrow stickers and journaling strips with the photo in the center of the page and added a few puffy dots for more texture and dimension.

Hi there!I'm already back with a new layout I made for the February Issue, called Let's Play Post Office, that is up today on the Paper Issues blog. This month, Lisa Swift asks us to use office supplies (tags, binder clips, push pins, postage stamps, envelopes), stamping, photos of children at play or of our latest Paper Issues package, create something about love or Valentine's Day, document a letter or else alter a clipboard. For my page, I used the Moonstruck collection by Pink Paislee, tags and photos of my little one playing on the beach.

I went for the idea of the envelope to go with the post office theme of this new Issue. I cut out rectangles in 6x6 papers and cut them again in four parts. I placed them on the background paper with the photos, mixing the patterns and the colors, so as to make little envelopes.

You can find the full details on this Issue and more inspiration from the Design Team on the Paper Issues blog. And hop on over to the PIFF Facebook group to play along and maybe win a gift certificate to the Paper Issues store!

Hi again! There's a brand new Notable Quotable challenge on the Paper Issues blog today where you can find beautiful DT projects inspired by the February quote. For my page, I was inspired by the quote and its colors and I used the Moonstruck and C'est La Vie lines by Pink Paislee, along with a photo of my eldest girl snapped on the beach a couple of weeks ago.

I cut out strips from Moonstruck and C'est La Vie patterned papers, placed them on the white background and made splatters with pink ink. Once dry, I added the photo and some embellies: frames, acetate and paper pieces, stickers, a doily and a Feed Your Craft flair badge. I adhered the pic and some of the embellies with foam squares for dimension. I love how the black and white photo pops against the soft colors of the page!

Hello!I hope you're enjoying your weekend!It's Scraplift Sunday on the Paper Issues agenda! This week, we're lifting a super cute page by Mary-Ann Maldonado. I played along and used the Millie & June collection by Fancy Pants and a photo of my furry girl making her sexy smile to echo Mary-Ann's adorable pic!

I took up Mary-Ann's lovely grid design and layered paper rectangles and the photo in the center of the page. I adorned them with tags and Millie & June embellies: die cuts, puffy stickers, a flair button and fussy cut hearts. I also added a paper strip and the title at the bottom of the page. To give dimension to my layout, I adhered the photo and some embellies with foam squares, I folded the paper hearts gently and curved the edges of the paper rectangles.

Hi there!I'm up on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio blog today sharing my first DT project! Yay! It's going to be all about love on the CVS blog for the next couple of weeks and, to illustrate this theme, I made a blue and pink page using the gorgeous Make A Wish line and a sweet picture of the girls snapped last summer.

For the background, I went for the Hip Hooray paper and its lovely navy stripes. I cut out a strip from the Party Dots paper, stiched the borders and placed it in the center of the page, along with thinner strips from the Loot Bag and Daydream papers. I love the blues in this line! So pretty!

I picked some pink die cuts from the ephemera pack and lined them up on the left-hand side of the page, along with the matted photo. I then went back to blue and cut out hearts from the pretty Daydream paper. I placed them at the top of the floral strip and adorned them with blue alpha stickers and more paper pieces from the ephemera pack. I folded the paper hearts gently and adhered them with foam squares for dimension. I love the soft and dreamy touch those blue on blue hearts give to the page!

For the title, I made a little cluster on the pic with another die cut from the ephemera pack and one of the gorgeous flair buttons. The pretty pink bow and shiny sequins from the bits & pieces bag add the perfect finishing touch to my girly page!
